Ethos Nutrition 💚 Veganuary - choose wisely
A wholefood plant-based diet with real plant foods and 100% natural ingredients and without any animal products can be highly nutritious and really helpful for healing, cleansing, weight loss and more, over a limited time period. But if applied long term, from a nutritional point of view, after many months individuals may lose out in important nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B12, iron, zinc, omega-3 and potentially in some amino acids. It is really important to supplement with a vegan-multinutrient nutritional supplement if considering a long term wholefood plant diet free from animal products. Or get some advice from a professional nutritionist like myself, to find how else to address potential nutrient insufficiency.

Just watch out for these lab-made vegan foods such as cheese, burgers, sausages etc. These often contain deranged fat molecules where natural vegetable fats have been highly heated in the food processing/manufacturing. They are called trans fats and can over time be quite harmful to cell tissue for example in arteries or liver. The best is to make your own veggie-burgers, vegan cheese safely and enjoy Veganuary with real foods.
I'm always happy to give out nutritious & easy recipe ideas for plant-based burger etc. Just ping me a message or pop in to see me.

Ethos Nutrition 🍀 A little bit of stress in life can be healthy and sometimes helps us move forward. A little bit of stress on our body, e.g. walking in the cold or exercising, also can do us good.
But when stress becomes too intense and long term, as a nutritional therapist I would recommend to take a holistic approach and help balance stress with body work, art work, breath work and diet & nutrients such as adaptogens & adrenal support. And also selfcare...be gentle to yourself. All this can help to build up resilience to stress and balance the nervous system. In addition, counseling and/or journaling can be helpful as well of course, as part of a holistic approach.
For more support & guidance contact Irena on 07517 449908 or pop in to see me on a Tue, Thu or Sat 10 - 3

Ethos Nutrition 💚 Consuming seasonal local foods grown in the country you live/stay has many health benefits:
- Living in tune with nature practically & spiritually
- In tune what your body needs in that season - biochemistry & energy
- It is very fresh and richer with nutrients such as antioxidants, omegas etc
- In tune with the local microbiome in soil, forest, rivers, ocean serving ours
- Low travel mileage
- Supporting local economy
When you buy your fruit and vegetables always ask where they come from. Also choose organic as much as possible.

Ethos Nutrition 💚 Some food for thought....
Over the festive period one might easily get carried away drinking or mixing too much, too many drinks of alcohol. There is a lot of evidence out there that regular & high alcohol consumption causes gut, kidney & liver issues and more.... Interesting video below, I can resonate with.
Fortunately there are many tasting alcohol free drinks available now or alcohol free drinks you can make your self, which can be enjoyed as an alternative or to drink in between a glass of wine.
Here some recipe ideas https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/non-alcoholic_sangria_68537

My favourite low-alcohol drink I like is the Hugo Cocktail:
1-2 sprigs fresh mint
1 wedge of lime
2/3 cups chilled prosecco or cava
2-3 tsp elderflower syrup/cordial
1/4 cup chilled sparkling water
Ice cubes

If you know a great non-alcoholic drink recipe please share below to share with each other.
